The ideal candidate will have experience troubleshooting and repairing everything from residential air-conditioning systems and 120/240V electrical circuits to 480V three-phase oilfield equipment, electric motors, pumps, VFDs/drives, and controls.
This position is a good fit for someone who enjoys variety, can troubleshoot problems independently, and is comfortable working in both oilfield and facility environments.

- Work with 480V three-phase electrical systems commonly found in oilfield operations.
- Troubleshoot electric motors, pumps, motor starters, contactors, disconnects, breakers, control circuits, and related equipment.
- Troubleshoot and assist with VFDs / variable frequency drives and other motor controls.
- Install and replace electrical equipment, wiring, conduit, panels, breakers, disconnects, fixtures, receptacles, and related components as qualified and permitted.
- Perform electrical and mechanical troubleshooting on oilfield equipment and facility systems.
- Assist with pump installations, electrical hookups, control wiring, and equipment commissioning.
- Identify equipment failures and determine whether components should be repaired or replaced.
- Perform preventative maintenance to reduce equipment downtime and emergency repairs.
- Respond to HVAC and electrical service calls throughout company operations.
- Maintain company tools, service vehicle, parts, and materials.
- Keep accurate records of repairs and preventative maintenance performed.
- Follow all company safety policies and applicable electrical, HVAC, and oilfield safety requirements.
- Coordinate with operations personnel, vendors, and contractors when additional support is required.
